Milad Farazmand 07ee86a5a2 PPC: allow for calling CFunctions without function descriptors on AIX.
The calling conventions on AIX uses function descriptors,
which means that pointers to functions do not point to code,
but instead point to metadata about them. When calling JITed code,
we must assure to use function descriptors instead of raw pointers when
needed. Before this CL 213504b, all CallCFunction on AIX were guaranteed to have
function descriptors. Starting form the CL mentioned above, CallCFunction can also
Jump to a Trampoline which does not have a function descriptor, hence a new
"CallCFunctionWithoutFunctionDescriptor" method is proposed to deal with this issue.
